December 7


I delivered a presentation today called "The Impacts of Globalization on Groups in Society", which I will send to you today. I also showed you a short video from the website Human Rights Watch called "Children in the Ranks". We then started watching a documentary video called "The Murdered Bride", which we will finish on Monday. You will have a Chapter 15-16 Quiz next Friday. This quiz will follow the typical format: a matching section, a multiple choice section and a short answer section. Please use the following study guide.

Study from your textbook and the following PowerPoint presentations:

Key Terms:

  • Chapter 15 Key Terms (from Unit 4 Worksheet)
  • Chapter 16 Key Terms (from Unit 4 Worksheet)
  • additional key terms from the presentations that correspond to Chapters 15 and 16

Key Questions:

I handed back some homework checks and marked assignments at the beginning of the class. We then started watching "An Inconvenient Truth" in class, which we will continue watching on Monday. As you watched this documentary, you were to take notes on facts and figures used in the film. I'll put the study guide for the Topic B Final Exam next week.
